Annual Subscription & Match Fees

At Spalding Hockey Club, we aim to make our membership fees clear and easy to understand for anyone looking to join the club.

Your annual subscription is an important part of becoming a club member. It helps cover the cost of your hockey throughout the season, including training sessions, affiliation to Lincolnshire, East and England Hockey, league entry fees, club equipment such as balls, cones, bibs and first aid kits, as well as public and personal liability sports insurance through England Hockey.

The club currently offers different subscription packages depending on your membership category. These are shown in the table below:

All annual subscriptions and match fees are managed online through Teamo, our club management system. Once you have joined the club and your Teamo account has been set up, you will be able to view your outstanding payments, invoices and payment history through the Teamo app or online member area.

Payments are handled through Teamo Pay, which is built into the Teamo system.

Members will have a number of payment options available, depending on the type of payment due and the payment options enabled by the club.

The annual subscription of £115 will be split into two payments of £57.50. These payments will be charged in June and July each year.

Student and discounted annual subscriptions of £55 will also be split into two payments of £27.50, charged in June and July each year.

This helps spread the cost of membership while ensuring the annual subscription is paid early in the season.

Match fees are charged separately from your annual subscription and are added to your balance after the match is played.

Members can pay match fees as they are added to their Teamo account. However, to help reduce individual transaction costs, the club will use Teamo’s AutoPay feature. This allows smaller match fees to be grouped together and collected as a single payment rather than processing lots of smaller payments individually.

AutoPay allows eligible payments, such as match fees, to be added to your Teamo account and collected automatically through your chosen payment method. This helps members avoid missed payments and helps the club reduce the amount of time spent chasing outstanding balances.

AutoPay also gives members visibility of what is due through their Teamo account, so you can keep track of your payments and raise any questions if something does not look right.

Using AutoPay is the chosen option for match fees and regular club payments, as it helps the club keep payment administration simple and keeps member balances up to date.

We understand that not everyone is able to play regularly throughout the season. To support occasional senior players, the club offers a refund system for players who play 4 or fewer matches during a single season.

To be eligible to play in senior matches, players must pay the full annual subscription for their membership category. At the end of the season, if you have played 4 or fewer matches, you may be entitled to a 60% refund of your annual subscription. This refund will be credited to your Teamo account.

Please note that this refund is not automatic. It is the responsibility of the player to contact the Club Treasurer at the end of the season to request the refund. The request will then be reviewed and credited if applicable.

Spalding Hockey Club wants hockey to be accessible to as many people as possible. If you are interested in joining but are concerned about the cost, please contact the Club Treasurer to discuss your circumstances.

Any financial support requests will be handled confidentially and reviewed on a case by case basis.

When joining the club, members are responsible for ensuring that their Teamo account and payment details are set up correctly.

Members are also responsible for making sure they are listed under the correct payment category. If your circumstances change during the season, for example if your membership category changes, you must let the club know.

Please note that members with an outstanding balance of more than £100 may be excluded from match selection unless an agreement has been made with the club.
